United States Ahead--The Famous
Buckoye" Wins Great
Victory.

All patriotic citizens will Join with
Messrs. Aultman. Miller & Co., of Ak.
ron. Ohio, in general congratulations over
the big victory which their Light Draft
Buckeye Folding Binder gained at
Shepparton. Victoria, Dec. IA, 1885, over
various competitors, by which the great
national gold medal was won. The fol.
lowing article taken from the Melbourne
Argus of Dec. 1e last tells how it was
done:
The Argus says: The field trial reap
ers and binders in connection with the
National Show at Shepparton was held
on Tuesday, the 14th instant, on Mr..
Guthrie's farm, about two miles from
Shepparton. Owing to the pressure of
harvest work, crops in all directions
being ripe. the attendance Of farmers did
not exceed 150 but great interest was
taken in the proceedings. As at the late
show. the judges placed the Hornsby
machine first, Mccormick second and the
Woods third; the Buckeye" represent
alive disliked being left out in the cold
and demanded field trial as provided by
the rules, the Mccormick also sharing in
the protest; SO the prizes were held over
pending the field trial. The crop was
ripe wheat, and the land was so rough
that none Of the machines could show
very low cutting. and the jolting over
the hard clods was tolerably severe on
horses, machines and drivers. Two
o'clock was the hour fixed for the
trial, but As the Buckeye" was
the only machine then ready,
delay was caused by the Hornsby and
Mccormick experts giving their machines
. preliminary run in the adjoining block
Of crop, and start was not made until
quarter past three. The five judges gave
great attention TO their duties. and were
ably seconded by the subcommittee ap-
pointed by the society and the secretary,
Mr.. Harold b. Turnkey. About two acres
were allotted to each machine, and they
finished in the following order: Buck
eye" III. 10 min; Hornsby, III. 10 min;
Mccormick, III. 90 min. The two latter
machines were drawn by three horses
each. while two lighter horses worked
the Buckeye" binder with equal ease
The decision Of the judges was based on
the following scale of points:

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The Pres

five years, Augustus Schoonmaker of New
York for the term OF four years, Aldace F.
Walker of Vermont for the term of three
years and Walter L. Bragg Of Alabama for
the term of two years.
The fact that Mr.. Cooley's name heads
the list does not necessarily indicate that
he will be Chairman of the Commission, as
it must elect its own chairman. Judge
Cooley was recently appointed by Judge
Gresham a receiver of the Wabash railroad.
Aldace F. Walker is Vermont lawyer
about a years old, Republican in politics,
who studied law with Senator Edmunds. He
served as Colonel in the Union Army and
has since then practicsd law at Rutland.
n the Vermont Senate he has taken lead
ng part in framing legislation to solve the
railway problem and has given much study
to the question.
Augustus Schoonmaker Is lawyer Of
Kingston, New York, and was always
close personal and political friend of
Governor Tilden. He succeeded MIR. Fair
child as Attorney-ieneral of New York
State.
Mr. Bragg has been leading Democrat
in Alabama far some years. In 1881 he was
made President of the Alabama Railroad
Commission, and served in that position
four years, during which time many impor-
tant questions arising between the railroads
and their customers were satisfactorily ad.
justed.
Mr.. Morrison's public services are well
known.
